September 12. TEAM NAVIGATION.--In consequence of 1._.7 the perfect operation of the engines aboard the Hercules Steam Packet, of 180 horse power, and of those of the other vessels belonging to the St. George Steam-packet Company, which have had Mr. SAMUEL HALL'S PATENT IMPROVE MENTS applied to them, the following vessels are at this time building, and the engines making for them upon his patent principles : For the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty :—A vessel to be called the Mwgara, building at his Majesty's dockyard at Sheerness, for which engines of 140 horse power are making. For the St. George Steam-packet Company : —l. A vessel, to be called the Lion, building by Messrs. Gibson and Co., of Hull ; the engines of 300 horse power, making by Mr. Edward Bury, of Liverpool. 2. A vessel, building by Mrs. Robert Russell and Sons, North Birkenhead, Liverpool ; the engines of 250 horse power, making by Messrs. George Forester and Co., Liverpool. 3. The Ocean, built by Messrs. J. and T. Wilson, of Liverpool ; the engines of 250 horse power, making by Messrs. Scott, Sinclair, and Co., Greenock. 4. The Juno, built by Messrs. Duncan and Co., Greenock ; the engines of 250 horse power, making by Messrs. Caird and Co., of Greenock. 5. The Sirius, built by Messrs. Menzies, of Leith ; the engines of 300 horse power, making by Messrs. Wingate and Co., of Glasgow. 6. A vessel, building by Mr. Adamson, of Dundee ; the engines of 250 horse power, making by Mr. Peter Borrie, of Dundee. For the Waterford Commercial Steam Packet Company : A vessel building at Waterford ; the engines of 300-horse power, making by Mr. Robert Napier, of Glasgow. The Hercules sails from London to Cork on Saturday next, the 17th instant (touching at Plymouth), when Mr. Hall requests the inspection of the engines. Although they have been in operation at sea between seven and eight months, the boilers have never had the least deposit of salt or scale, and are as clean as the day they were set to work, which is owing to the circumstance that the en trance of salt or dirty water into the boilers is entirely avoided in engines with Mr. Hall's improvements, although the vessels navi gate the most saline sea water or muddy rivers. For steam-navigation across the Atlantic to India, and for other long voyages, these improved engines are indispensable, for the great difficulties with the boilers are removed, as they may be kept in uninterrupted operation for months. For the navigation of the Mediterranean and other seas which contain a more than ordinary proportion of saline matter in solution these engines are equally important. Besides the above, many collateral and important advantages are obtained which require a longer explanation than can be here given ; but drawings of the engines, with more ample information and testimonials, may be had on application to the Patentee, 147, Strand, London ; or Basford, near NottinghaNn.

The anonymous author of the Athanasian Creed, awfully enough, saith, " They cannot be saved who do not believe in Trinity in Unity, and Unity in Trinity." We have our doubts, certainly; yet it does seem a little hard upon those who never heard the name of this one and only true Deity. We cannot, indeed, but humbly trust that the case will not be pressed against the Lord Jesus Christ, or any one of his Apostles.

IL NORRIS'S DROPS, a Certain Remedy for FEVERS, COLDS, INFLUENZA, and all Diseases that arise from obstructed perspiration. The Medicine here recommended to the Practitioner, and the Public, possesses qualities of the most mild and beneficial nature; it is composed of articles known to be the most anti. putrescent, combined with the ingredient known to the profession, as the only certain antidote for fevers of every description. When the disease is produced either from cold, obstruction, bad air, swampy and damp situa tions, or putrid miasma, whether malignant or epidemic, or by other causes, this medicine is certain in its operation and effects, it produces the most gentle and salutary perspiration, and by a specific quality, peculiar to itself, not only expels the disease, but restores and invigorates the system. These celebrated Drops have had the unbiassed testimonies to their in variable effects, of numbers of the Nobility, Gentry, and Medical Men of this Kingdom, and the extensive demand for them from the West Indies, and America, proves that, in those countries, it is held in equal estimation.

Extract from Debate on Spanish Affairs in the House of Com mons, August 5.—" A gentleman (Mr. Burke Honan) was seized in the dead of the night, carried off to the frontier, not knowing whether he was to be murdered or not, without any steps being taken by our Ambassador to prevent it. This gentleman had lately published a work on the subject of the civil war, containing most valuable information. Perhaps he had spDken too disparagingly of the then Government in the streets of Madrid. 'Was it for that he had been treated in so disgraceful a manner—was it for that the British Government had not come forward to procure him redress ?" Printed for John Maerone, St. James's-square.

In principles it will be firmly and consistently the " Advocate" of the public good; but in supporting those principles, that violence of manner and personal vindictiveness, which noto riously disgraces a portion of the Public Press. will be uniformly avoided. The Paper is not pledged to the " thick and thin" support of any Government or of any party : but, in seeking a wider ground of support, it stands pledged ever to assist the constitutional rights of the people—to contend, step by step, for every practicable con cession of those rights, and to seek each such concession, in the only way in which it can be permanently secured to the recipients, through the legitimate and peaceful operation of public opinion.

A Provisional Committee of twenty-one gentlemen, consisting of the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Scholey, Mr. Alderman Wood, Mr. Alderman Winchester, Mr. Alderman Fare brother, Mr. Alderman Humphrey, Mr. Alderman Lainson, Charles Barclay, Esq.. M. P. Mr. Serif Salomon;, Weston, Esq., Chadwick, Esq., -- Jones, Esq., W. Simpson, Esq., E. Tickner, Esq., Dr.. Golding, &e. &c., were appointed to make arrangements for call ing a public meeting. The Lord Mayor trusted, now a Committee had been appointed, it would meet with a unity of purpose, and that no exertion would be wanting to carry into effect the object they had in view —viz., raising a statue in honour of the Duke of Wellington. THE PRINCE OF CAPUA.—The Gazette du Midi, of Marseilles, says :—" We are assured that the Prince de Capua has returned to this town, and received a communica tion from the King, his brother, through M. Caraffa, the Nea politan charge d'Affaires at Paris. A pension has been offered to him, on condition that he will take up his residence at Brunn, in the Austrian States. The Prince would have been permitted to return to Naples, and even received at Court, had he not insisted that his wife should be treated with the honours of a Princess, and, consequently, that his children should inherit all the rights of royalty. This pretension, how ever, is totally unprecedented. Even the present King of Prussia, on marrying the Princess ile Leibnitz, assigned to her no other rank or honours than thoie which were granted by Louis XIV. to Madame Maintenon. If the Prince de Capua will yield to these reasons all may be reconciled—his domestic happiness with state rules, and his marriage with:the dignity of the house of Bourbon. The Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of the Bank of England tools place this day, James Pattison, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The minutes of the last Court having been read, The GOVERNOR observed that this was one of the General Quarterly Courts appointed by the Charter, and it was also one of the half-yearly Courts appointed by the by-laws to con sider of a dividend. He had to announce to the proprietors that the Court of Directors after maturely considering the state of the affairs of the Corporation, had resolved upon de claring a dividend of 4/. per cent. upon the capital stock of the Company for the half year ending the 10th of Oct. next. Mr. SAMUEL WELLS wished that the 12th by-law should be read before any discussion took place. They had a duty to discharge that day which he believed was very little un derstood. The by-law having been read, Mr. FIELDER rose to order. He objected to Mr. Wells taking any part in the discussion of that day, inasmuch as he was not a proprietor, having no stock standing in his own name on the books of the Company. He did not wish to make any assertions that were not founded upon fact, and he would, therefore, draw the attention of the legal adviser of the Corporation to the matter, for the purpose of putting a proper construction upon it, if he (Mr. Fielden) was wrong in his view of the case. It was expressly laid down in the charter and be for one was most anxious that there should be no de viation from the terms of that charter), that no person should be allowed to vote or interfere in any matters relating to the Government, or the management of the Corporation who had not standing in his own name, and not in trust— ( Hear, hear)-5001. or upwards of the capital stock of the Company. In page 20 it was provided, that at the request of any proprietor, any person may be called upon to take the oath of allegiance, and shall at the same time swear that he is pos sessed of that amount of stock. The By-laws also contained a simiirtr provision, and which prevented any person not so qualified from being present, or voting at any general court of proprietors. He would now call upon the Governor to know whether the name of Mr. Samuel Wells was on the books of the Company, as a holder of stock in his own name ? Be cause, unless such was the case, he had no right to take any part in the discussion. Mr. Youso, to shorten the discussion, would call upon the legal adviser of the Company to state his opinion upon the matter. Mr. WELLS claimed a right to be heard in reply. Mr FIELDEN said, the simple question was, whether the gentleman was a proprietor or not ? Mr. WELLS had heard the observations of the gentleman with great patience, and hoped he would be allowed to vindi cate himself. He did not pretend to say he was a proprietor capable of voting, but there were corporate rights that per_ sons were capable of exercising without voting. For the general purposes of the Corporation he had, as he contended, as much right to discuss, as the Hon. Gentleman who had made the charge against him. Mr. Sheriff SALOMONS rose to order. He thought, if any rule was laid down with respect to Trustees, it should be the act of the whole Court. The GOVERNOR thought it would be desirable that the Court should allow the Hon. Gentleman to say what be wished, and afterwards the Counsel for the Bank would give his opinion upon the subject. If the Court wished to hear the Learned Counsel's opinion first, of course he could have no objection to the adoption of such a course. Mr. YOUNG said that it was a matter which was easily as certained whether the gentleman was a proprietor himself or only a trustee. The GOVERNOR—No doubt Mr. Wells was a trustee, as he held upwards of 7001. stock in trust. Mr. MAULE, the standing counsel for the Bank, stated that upon the present occasion he had no hesitation whatever iii giving his clear opinion, though, generally speaking, it was much better to have a case laid before counsel ; but in the pre sent instance he had been favoured with the opinion of Sir Arthur Pigott, with which be fully concurred, and that opinion was that persons who were trustees had neither a right to vote or attend the Court of Proprietors. Mr. FIELDEN felt it his duty to enforce the By-Laws, and move that Mr. Wells should be requested to withdraw. Mr. WELLS said that it was not his intention to interrupt the proceedings of the meeting, and he should therefore at once bow to its decision. He regretted, however, that he had not been allowed to make the statements he wished. The press, however, was open to him, and he should certainly avail himself of it to give to the public that information which he was not allowed to do through the medium of the Court. Mr. FIELDEN begged it to be understood that he had not made the observations be had done personally to Mr. Wells, but only for the purpose of a strict adherence to the charter by which they held all their privileges; Mr. Sheriff SALOMONS put it to Mr. Fielden whether he would insist upon his motion after Mr. 'Wells had stated that it was not his intention to address the meeting. The GOVERNOR thought it would be better to withdraw the motion. Mr. FIELDEN then withdrew his motion. Mr. SADLER wished to know whether the dividends were made up by the profits of the Company, or any part made from the rests? The GOVERNOR said, that perhaps it would be better for him to read the rest as it was twelve months ago. The rest in February 1836 amounted to 2,734,0001., and now, in September, it was 2,727,0001. The proprietors would per ceive that there was a diminution of about 7,000/. during the last year. That diminution was to be accounted for by a se vere loss which the Bank suffered by melting a large quantity of silver coin in 1831, which had accumulated to a great ex tent in the years 11429 and 1830. In 1831 the Bank had melted for the benefit of the country silver coin to the amount of 600,000/., upon which the loss would be about 60,0001. From that time to the present the House had been endeavour ing to convince the different Governments that they ought to pay the Bank that loss, but all the Govern ments had been against them, and the Directors during the last half year had given the Governor and Deputy Governor power to accept the only compensation Government would allow them, viz., a scinorago upon the coinage of the silver. The Governors had therefore accepted the 30,0001., which the Proprietors would see had been voted by the Par liament. The loss then—the difference between that sum and the actual loss—had been written off the rest during the pre sent half-year, which accounted for the apparent loss. It would be satisfactory for the Proprietors to know that the rest would have been encreased 24,000/. had it not been for the loss he had mentioned, and the amount which had been written off on account of Fauntleroy's forgeries.—( Hear.) Mr. FIELDEN said some misapprehension was abroad in the minds of the Proprietors relative to the understanding of the Bank with the Bank as to the payment of the 100,000/. per annum which was allowed them for transacting the busi ness of the country. He understood that they were to re ceive that sum, without any deduction. Was he right in so understanding it ? The GOVERNOR said, most certainly. Mr. SADLER begged to thank the Governor for his satis factory explanation, but his question was not yet answered— was any part of the dividend taken out of the rest ? The GOVERNOR said ,that question he had already answered. To meet the losses stated by him, and to pay the dividend, the rest would be reduced by 7,0001. Mr. SALOMONS then begged to be allowed to ask a question upon a matter which had caused a very great deal of specula tion and discussion in the newspapers during the last few weeks. The GOVERNOR suggested that the question of . the dividend might be put first, and then any observations might be offered by any gentleman. Mr. BLAexatumz thought everything that could be said had reference to the question of a dividend, and it ought to be discussed. The GOVERNOR put the question of a dividend of 4/. per cent. Mr. BLACKBURNE said if the other gentlemen gave way, he would most certainly persevere.—(Loud cries of " Ques tion! question I Dividend I") He was determined to say a few words upon the question of a dividend, for he considered that the proprietors had not sufficient grounds laid before them. Mr. SALosioNs rose tq order.—Unless the Hon. Gentle man confined himself strictly to the question before the Court he must give way to him. He (Mr. S.) was first in possession of the' Court.—(Loud cries of " Question ! question I") Mr. BLACKBURNE would say a few words, but they would be few, as he knew his duty too well to detain that Court needlessly. He thought that in forming their opinion upon a divide n d, t h ey should not act unless they - had sufficient grounds laid before them, to form a judgment. He did not think that they had a sufficient statement of the accounts of the Bank before them—he by no means wished that their enemies might be furnished with a statement of their private affairs, but thought a general account might be made out for the satisfaction of the proprietors. Had such accounts been furnished, the proprie tors would not have been kept in ignorance of the loss upon the silver coin for five years. The question, that a dividend of 41. per cent. upon the capital stock of the Bank for the half year ending in October be now declared.—Carried una nimously. Mr. SALOMONS was rather unaccustomed to public speaking, and hoped the meeting would extend its indulgence to him. The subject which he was about to bring before them was one of very great importance, not only to the interests of the Com pany, but to the prosperity of the commercial world at large. It could not have escaped the notice of the Proprietors that tl r ie u co d nd e uet of the Bank of England had been very much can vassed in th e newspapers o f l ate, an d re p or t s very muc h to t h e prejudice of that establishment, which should be above such comments, had gone abroad.—(Hear, bear, hear.) It was stated that the course they had lately pursued for their own protection had been influenced by petty and selfis h motives. He thought it highly important that such remarks th shouldatth eCompany notl o m m s pa ut iy ficreidl had do been abroad— merely thatit actuated by a sense should be shown. what was d ue to i tse lf f or i ts own protect i on , a nd for the se curity of th e pu bli c. I t was necessary t h at a ll those interested in the high c h aracter o f t h at esta bli s h ment should be satisfied upon that p o i nt , an d h e now b egge d to know whether the '' Bank had adopted the conduct lately pursued by them for their own security or from a spirit of rivalry and hostility to other rival establishments ?—( Oh !) The GOVERNOR believed his observations might be confined to the question put in the latter part of the Hon. Gentleman's remarks—namely, whether their conduct latterly had been actuated by any feeling of rivalry or hostility to other estab lishments? He could unequivocally declare, that it waa no such thing—that no feeling, of rivalry had come across the minds of the Directors. They had been actuated by no such unworthy motives, but merely from a deep sense of what wa , due to themselves and to the country.—(Cheers.) It was their duty to take care that the reflux of bullion should not be too rapid—they were bound to take care of the metallic cur. rency of the country. All their objects had been directed to that end, and he could unequivocally declare, that no littleness of spirit had ever actuated or would actuate their conduct. Mr. FIELDEN was much obliged to the person who had put the question, as it would set the conduct of the Bank of Eng land right with the public. He would now beg to ask whe ther they did not act upon the same system towards the Banks of England and Scotland, which had characterised their pro ceedings in 1825 ? Whether they did not look upon all parts of the Empire as an United Kingdom ? He was satis fied that the answer would be in the affirmative, and he would therefore merely refer the proprietors to what had been the conduct of the Bank of England in the panic of 1825. The records of Parliament told them that the Bank had then advanced no less a sum than 320,0001., that within a few days they had discounted 4,200 bills, amounting to 7,500,0001. to spread over the United Kingdom. In the course of another week they had discounted 7,000,000 more, making altogether nearly 16,000,000 of money to protect the interests of the commercial world. This, it should be perfectly under stood, was the conduct of the Bank of England in the panic of 1825. Mr. YOUNG—That the conduct of the Bank of England should attract the attention of the public need not ex cite any surprise, as it had a very large influence upon the monetary system of the country.—( Cries of " Hear.") The Directors were therefore bound to watch the proceedings of the country with a jealous eye, and he believed that they possessed so far the confidence of the Proprietors, that they were satisfied they would always conduct their proceedings upon such principles as would promote the general pros perity of the country._( Hear, hear.) They would, how ever, be very blind to their own interest, if they did not protect themselves, more particularly at a time when the sys tem of Joint Stock Banks was diffusing itself over the coun try without a sufficient knowledge of the means by which such establishments should be conducted. On the last discussion rela tive to the charter, it was expressed by Lord Althorp arrange ments would be made, by which country bankers would issue the Bank of England paper instead of their own. Ile regretted that tthe Legislature did not compel the joint-stock banks to publish their accounts, in order to ascertain what their liabili ties were—( Hear, hear)—and until that wholesome control was established, he feared the country would not be properly protected. Mr. SALOMONS considered that it would be for the interest of both parties if they could be on good terms with each other. Mr. FIELOEN said he should not feel that he was doing his duty, if he were not to take the present opportunity of movirg a vote of thanks to the Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Di rectors, for the course they had pursued, with respect to the subject that had just been disposed of. Mr. SADLER, before that question was put, begged to ask in what state the Branch Banks were at present ; whether they were yielding a profit, or bringing loss upon the concern ? The GOVERNOR had the satisfaction of infOrming the Court that the Branch Banks at the present moment were acting exceedingly well. Mr. SADLER having received so satisfactory an answer to his first question, begged to put another, which was, whether it was the intention of the Governor and Directors to discon tinue any of the branch banks that were then in existence. The GOVERNOR said that at present it was not their inten tion to do so. Mr. FIELDEN then requested the Governor to put the ques tion of a vote of thanks to himself and the Directors. How ever delicate he might feel in doing so, he must feel it, as it had been moved and seconded. The question was then put and carried unanimously. The GOVERNOR returned thanks : he should always consider it his duty to act upon the same principles in future as he had already done, considering it for the welfare of all parties concerned. The GOVERNOR then stated that the Dividends would be paid on the 1 Ith of October, and the Court adjourned. IRISH WHEAT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. ESTEEMED FRIEND—As thy Paper has extensive circulation, I feel desirous of calling thy attention to a subject of vast im portance to Ireland, before the poor half-starved farmers part with this year's crop of Wheat. The failure of the corn crops in the United States of America has advanced the price of Wheat and Flour much higher than in this country, and as all the Wheat in Ireland is kilndryed, it will stand the voyage to America well, either in Wheat or Flour, and the present price of both in Ireland is as low as the bonded, taking into account the quality of the Irish, which is fine, and the inferiority of the bonded ; thy taking the price of Wheat and Flour from the Market Accounts of Liverpool, and the price from the Ame rican letters, which are likewise to be depended on, will then open the eye of the merchant to see it would be to their in terest to ship Wheat and Flour to the United States of Ame rica, rather than to Liverpool. Letters appear weekly in the Mark Lane Reporter from America that may he relied on, and with other information, would throw great light upon the subject, and do a great deal of good to both countries. The Mark Lane Reporter is so confined as to circulation, compared with thy Paper, that the real state of things is but little known. A word to the wise is sufficient, and a constant reader will soon see whether the subject calls forth thy attention. From a WELL- WISHER to the IRISH NATION. London, 9, 13th, 1836.

CURIOUS IMPROVEMENT IN CHRONOMETERS. — Chronometers constructed with glass balance-springs, in stead of the old metallic ones, are now in course of trial at the Royal Observatory. On comparing the glass with the metallic springs, when the temperatures were raised from 32 deg. to 100 deg., it was found that while the loss in twenty-four hours in the gold spring was eight minutes four seconds, that of steel six minutes twenty-five seconds, and that of palladium two minutes thirty-one seconds, that of a glass spring was only forty seconds. These differences are described by the inven tors principally to the different degrees in which the substances had their elasticity reduced by an increase of temperature. As glass was thus found to suffer much smaller loss of elas ticity by this cause than metals, they proceeded to construct a glass balance suited to the correction of the small error still occasioned by this cause, employing a glass disc for this pur pose. The compensation being completed, they next tested the isocronism (uniformity of movement) of the glass spring, and it proved to be as perfect as any metallic spring. In com mon with all other instruments of the same kind they have shown a disposition to progressive acceleration, the cause of which is but little known, but which appears to be influenced by the action of the air. THE ST. SIMONIANS.—Letters from Alexandria state that nearly all the St. Simonians who accompanied Father Enfantin into Egypt have disappeared. There were 20 in number, of whom one has died of some ordinary disease, five have been carried off. by the plague, four have turned Ma hometans, another has disappeared, nobody knows how, and three have left Egypt for other parts of the East. One of these last, although he cannot speak a word of Arabic, and has not assumed the turban, has had the courage to put himself at the head of a caravan of pilgrims from the West, and gone to Mecca; but, as the caravan had net returned, his fate was not known. The rest have found employment in superintending the roads, the hospitals, and in giving public instruction. Fa ther Enfantin alone remains unoccupied ; he is sustained be his brethren, and particularly by Solyrnan •Pacha (Colonel S:2lves.) AN EXPERIMENT DEFEATED.--The late Dr. Beddoes had made the diseases of females his peculiar study, and observed that nervous affections were a fruitful source of illness. This nervousness, he was convinced, had its origin in certain electrical changes, and that these changes were accele rated by a practice which in his day, and lie feared it had not diminished, was very prevalent, that of drinking strong green tea. To demonstrate this to his patients, and considering that to preserve human life was an object that would excuse cruelty to frogs, he determined upon keeping a number of frogs in a pond of green tea, and exhibiting to his patients the nervous symptoms tact would shortly be induced. To his friend, Mr. Ashwell, of Colebrooke Dale, he wrote, requesting him to procure 10,000 frogs; which was done: they were packed in a sugar hogshead, and with other packages were forwarded to Bristol. The other packages, containing ironmongery, required to be raised by a crane, and as there was no differ ence in the appearance of the packages, when the hogshead containing the frogs was hoisted, it flew up to the top of the crane, broke, and out in a moment, upon the quay of Bristol, leaped 10,000 frogs ! This was in the agitated period of the French Revolution, and the Doctor had entered upon the stormy discussions of the day with all the zeal of an interested partisan. No sooner, then, had the frogs leaped out, than the mob, little dreaming of the connection between frogs and green tea, electricity and nervousness, jumped to the conclu sion that, because the Doctor wanted frogs, he must have Frenchmen in his house, and that these Frenchmen were bloody-minded revolutionary Jacobins, who had come over to kill the King and upset the Government. They determined to prevent that mischief by setting fire to Dr. Beddoes's house, a determination which it required all the eloquence of another physician to prevent. The Russian Prince Sabanoff arrived at. Mivart's Hotel yesterday morning, from Boulogne-sur Mer. VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 3.—Letters from Bucharest announce that the evacuation of Silistria by the Russians has commenced, and will soon be completed.—Frankfort Paper, Sept. 11. Our Portsmouth Correspondent this morning com municates the following melancholy intelligence :—" We have just received intelligence that the Lord - William Bentinck, which, some time since, conveyed convicts to Sydney, and there took in 400 troops we believe of the 4th Regiment of Foot, for Bombay, is lost on her passage to that plr.ce, and we fear few, if any, of those who were on board saved."—Salis bury Herald of Saturday. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—On account of the sudden and early equinoctial gales, and the extreme coldness of the mornings and evenings, the beasts and birds belonging to the Zoological Gardens, in the Regent's Park, have been removed from out of their cages, which were in the open space of the gardens, and arc now placed for the winter season in the extensive and commodious Menagerie, 'which is so pro perly heated according to the various animals' constit u ti ons b y steam-pipes. The cleanly manner in which all the animals are kept, is the universal admiration of the numerous visitors. The stupendous giraffes are kept closely shut up by themselves —these inoffensive animals being of the most delicate descrip tion. One of the giraffes belonging to the Surrey Zoological Gardens is now exhibiting at Manchester, where it is likely to reap a bountiful harvest for the proprietor. In imitation of several other provincial towns, a project for establishing Zoo logical Gardens has been set on foot in that metropolis of the manufacturing counties. Mr. Webster, Superintendent of Factories under the Act, preferred complaints before Coffin, Esq., Ma gistrate of Llandaff, on Tuesday last, against Thomas Evans, occupier of the factory of Llandaff, for overworking children employed by bins, for not keeping time books or registers, and not having certificates of ages, when he was convicted; the Magistrate intimating, that unless the defects be immediately remedied, or in the event of a repetition of any of tho of fences, the utmost amount of penalties would be inflicted.— Carnarvon Herald. BARNET FAlR.—There was an immense quantity of cattle at this fair-10,000 beasts from Scotland, 6,000 from North and South Wales, 2,000 Devorts and Herefords, and 2,000 other sorts. Business was done on the first day at 1/. in 101. higher than last year, and it is considered that two thirds were sold. The second day was wet, and dealers were obliged to take from 10 to 15 per cent. leas. There were some pens of sheep, but few were sold. The horses were of a mid dling sort, and the Welch dealers asked high prices for any thing useful. THE MURDER AT WOODHOUSE, LINCOLN. An inquest was held on Monday last, at Woodhouse, before Mr. John Gregory, on the body of Thomas Burtou. James Angrave examined :—I, Wm. Johnson, Thomas Biggs, an d deceased, were mowing in a field of barley belonging t o my father on Saturday, Sept. 2, and after we had partaken of bread and cheese and ale together, John said he wanted more ale, it well smoking thatl a have comepipe. backe as There, you may and would go and fetch some. I advi sed him not to do so, b u t H to go on with his work ; he , however, w ent, and after an ho ur ' s said, absence, returned quitethink tipsy, have—you are such a d—d fellow for work." He then at tempted t o mow, a o d continu e d, t h ough quite tipsy, during ho a u f r t s e , r d t u h r i isn,gonwiis hiichcohmeindarannekathr wherereehorlewsamsoreof a mow ing, finding that lie wa s st ill very tipsy, and using his scythe ale. arl Shortly very unskilfully, I told him to stand back. Immediately after I heard him say to Biggs (a youth of 17) " Mow it up clean," to which Biggs replied, " You don't point your's so well." In a moment Johnson flew at Biggs, knocked hag down, and throwing hi mse lf upon him said. " I)—n your eyes I I'll do you now !" Deceased went up to them, and, trying to pull Johnson off, was pulled down by him close to Biggs, when John son, who was a powerful man, beat them both most violently about the head and face. Being afraid he would have killed them, I rot►t up and struck Johnson on the head with the scythe stick; I then pulled him off Biggs, and held him down. On his promising to behave well, I let him get up, but, as soon as he was up, he sprang towards Biggs's scythe, seized it, and immediately struck deceased with it again with all his might on the back of his left thigh. Burton said, " Will, you have killed me ; I shall die l" He got up and walked to the hedge sick, where lie fell, the blood flowing in a stream. I said to Johnson, " You've killed Burton." He replied, " D—n you I I'll do for you al!, or else I'll fetch my brother Harry and kill you all together." Johnson then struck at me with the scythe, which would have cut both my legs had not Biggs laid hold of his arms. Biggs let to of him and ran away. lie immediately struck at me with the scythe, but I at the same moment struck him on the head, which knocked him down, and in falling he drew the scythe acr o ss my hip, which inflicted a wound in the flesh. Johnson lived with my father some time since last Martlernas, and, when sober, was a good workman, and conducted himself with propriety, but when drunk, quarrelsome and revengeful. Verdict—. Wilful mur der against William Johnson."—Lincoln Gazette. The Tories have lately been at considerable pains to ge t u p an agitation in different parts of the country, among t h e working . classes. It is remarkable, however, that they never venture to call a public meeting, for the discussion of any p o lirical question of interest. They collect at the most two or three hundred persons in a room ; the ale and tobacco c irculate, and sometimes a dinner is provided. There are only one or to o topics on which the Tory orators at these meetings venture to be eloquent—the cruelty of the New Poor Law, which, s u p pos i ng to be had, they dishonestly attribute to the Whigs alone.—and abuse of 111 r. O'Connell. This is the mode in which the Tories play their favourite game of humbuy, SECOND EDITION OF " BOZ." Just published, in 2 vols. post Bvo., boards, SKETCHES BY “BOZ."
